Don, I am not talking about "metallurgy". German steel was the best in the World. Herr Krupp pioneered it.
But lets enter into some of the modifications and see..Take a look at the extractor...compare a Mauser to a 1916. Mauser beefed up the hook that holds it in place. Failure of the extractor is a serious stoppage. The Swiss went even further than Mauser and completely encircled the hook for extreme reliability. Evidence of these changes indicates it was a problem on WW1 Luger's.
